Law for teen shoplifters.

Teen Shoplifters ignore costly consequences for stealing at Wal-Mart. "It just a testing of the waters for teenagers. All of us do something bad until we get caught...it's something we'll all outgrow - if we don't get caught first."
Thirteen percent of students admit that they have shoplifted at a Wal-Mart, according to a survey. Of the students who have shoplifted at Wal-Mart store, about 58 percent of them say they have stolen items from the store location across the street from school. Almost half said they were most likely to shoplift at the store after school let out. A 2001 University of North Texas survey found 38 percent of all shoplifters are between the ages of 13 and 17. But the numbers rise higher, with 62 percent of students admitting to shoplifting at least once. A lot of teenagers shoplift because it's really easy to to. They get what they want without having to pay consequences. The more they don't get caught, the more they'll keep doing it."
Government should force a law to keep teenagers out of shoplifting. However, consequences for shoplifting are expensive. Fines are range anywhere from $500 to $5000, plus jail time. Police are allowed to arrest minors for shoplifting - even for stealing a candy bar. "If you get away with it once, eventually you're going to think you can get away with it all the time," Wal-Mart store manager Steve Higbee said. "That is what's really going to hurt you. Eventually you're going to get caught."

US Senator Debate, who will be the winner?

The Cornyn-Noriega Debate is an article from Burkablog: Texas Monthly. The writer brings up the redistricting in 2003 with “Killer D’s”, the problem that has been asked during the debate between Cornyn and Noriega. It seems like Cornyn has more power to answer the question about this issue since Cornyn was the one who called to redistricting. For Noriega, it is a bit hard for him to run for a United States Senator in a state where majorities favored Republicans side over the last ten years. The problem between Democrat and Republican is not the problem that the writer focuses on during the debate. Although, the writer focuses on the dramatically change in personal expressive of Noriega in the debate; comparing to the debate Noriega has done at the UT Young Democrats. “It’s hard to criticize him; military service in the Middle East has affected him deeply,” the writer makes a well-view to the reader about Noriega’s background. Since the audience to this kind of article mostly young voters, and some military workers, the point that the writer brings up is well worth. Then, the writer’s credibility is well developed. The writer raises the viewing point to time and money consuming, “if he [Noriega] had $5 million and five weeks, he might make a race of it.” The money problem seems hard to solve by his own in this economy downturn time, but, in the other hand, Noriega can have the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to help him out in this situation, money consuming. John Cornyn, in the other side, “is both competent and confident under pressure.” I agree with the writer on this, since Cornyn is a current US Senator, there should be no question about why he is so confident about this election. Both Cornyn and Noriega are good to be US Senator, but only one of them will win in the election. It’s hard to decide who we should vote for.
